Do you know the way to San Jose? Apparently, Jay Z and Kanye West do. Known as "The Throne," the duo is bringing the biggest rap show of the year to HP Pavilion this week. Closer to home, Dinosaur Jr. revisits one of its biggest albums at The Fillmore with Henry Rollins, and funnyman Adam Corolla has some laughs for the audience at the Palace of Fine Arts. A tamer alternative to Santacon, which shutdown Polk Street this past weekend, A Santa Hat Affair takes the holiday fun inside for a dance party. The 90s are alive with an appearance by golden era hip-hop group The Pharcyde and the Club Vogue party, and the Winter Holiday Rock Prom & Auction brings Adam Savage of Mythbusters, Jello Biafra and more to the Rickshaw Stop.

Exclusive Discount: Celebrate a local arts institution at the 2nd Annual Benefit Gala for Gray Area Foundation for the Arts on December 15th. SF Station readers receive 50% off general admission with discount code "sfstation"

at The Fillmore (8pm)

Named after the song on David Bowie's Hunky Dory, the Kooks met while attending Brighton Music College in the mid-2000s. Each shared a liking for the Police, the Strokes, the Everly Brothers, and Funkadelic, and the bandmates began funneling such influences into...

Around the time she began getting serious about making music, Brandi Carlile would travel to Seattle's Benaroya Hall for concerts, including solo performances by Dave Matthews and Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder. "I watched them," she recalls, "and I wondered what it would be like to stand on that beautiful stage."

at Slim's (8pm)

For mercurial L.A. music-maker Will Wiesenfeld, Baths has been a long time coming. The 21-year-old has spent the better part of his days living amidst "pleasant" and "unremarkable" in the suburbs of the San Fernando Valley, so perhaps it's due to a general lack of local inspiration...
at Ruby Skye (8pm)

They don't care about genres. They don't care about smartness. They don't care about the things you care about. Dada Life just want to make you jump up and down. Then make you crash into a wall with a smile on your face...
at The Fillmore (8pm)

Although always as loud as god, it was easy to convince yourself the music of Dinosuar Jr was far more passive than aggressive. This myth exploded in a hail of flaming toads in the spring of 1989, when the band's original trio line-up burst like a ripe sac of pus...

at YBCA Screening Room (2pm)

Aptly, the final film in the "From Muppets to Metal" series is Jim Henson's Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas, which, despite its homespun title, satisfies both ends of the spectrum. If you saw the original in 1977, you already know about The Nightmare, a band of miscreant animals from the deep woods who play hard rock like Deep Purple...
